Our son is on ship 04 div 815 - I just found this group. My son set up the sight for me before he left and I am just now figuring it out. We have also made reservations for the Marriott and they suggested we take the shuttle to the base. Did they suggest that to others too? I enjoy reading your posts, we heard from our son on June 6 and have only one letter from him. He sounded good but busy, he said the guys he was with were good guys. I hope to meet some of you in July if all goes well. Thanks for the information.

Welcome M Dunne Navy, interesting name. We took the shuttle and what was nice about it is that it takes you right in, no waiting in lines to get your pass checked. Although I have heard the line moves quickly.

We are so excited to see our SR! We are staying at the Quality Inn, but want to meet up with as many families as possible...I sounds like Ramada meet and greet may be the way to go? We are renting a car, but would it be best to take the shuttle to the base? I am worried about the short hour after PIR to catch the shuttle back to the hotel? Any ideas?

Hi Pat. We too are renting a car. We aren't sure if we are taking the shuttle or driving onto the base. We seem to be leaning toward driving tho for the flexability factor. See you in 17 days!

Pat, that is a drawback from taking the shuttle. It waits until it is full before leaving. The 800 Div families are done visiting long before other Divisions.
